Technical Co-Founder Services
Find Your Technical Co-Founder
You have the vision, domain expertise, and drive. We bring 25+ years of building scalable platforms. Together, we build something remarkable.
The technical co-founder gap
You know your market inside out. You've validated the problem. Maybe you've even raised some money. But you need someone who can actually build the thing - and not just build it, but architect it to scale.
Hiring developers is expensive and risky. Agencies deliver code, not partnership. And finding a true technical co-founder who shares your commitment? That's the hardest part of starting up.
We've been that technical co-founder for 25+ ventures. We know what works.
Not Just Developers
We're strategic partners with skin in the game. We'll challenge bad ideas, celebrate wins, and stay up late fixing production issues because it's our company too.
Not an Agency
We don't bill hours and disappear. We take equity because we believe in the mission. Our success is directly tied to yours.
Not Inexperienced
25+ exits. Platforms serving hundreds of millions of users. We've made the mistakes so you don't have to.
How the partnership works
Deep Dive
We spend time understanding your vision, market, and what you've already learned. No commitment yet - just exploration.
Mutual Fit
We both decide if this is right. You're choosing a partner for years, not a vendor for weeks. We take this seriously.
Structure Deal
We agree on equity split, vesting, roles, and expectations. Everything transparent, everything fair.

What we look for in founders
We're selective because we're committing years of our lives. Here's what makes a great partnership:
Domain expertise
You know your industry deeply. You've identified a real problem through experience, not just market research.
Ambition at scale
You're building something that could be big. Not a lifestyle business - a platform that could change an industry.
Coachability
You want a partner who will push back, not a yes-man. You're open to being challenged on your assumptions.
Commitment
This is your main thing, not a side project. You're ready to go all-in for the next several years.
Ready to find your technical co-founder?
We take on 3-4 equity partnerships per year. If you're building something ambitious and need a technical partner, we'd love to hear your story.
